To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton gathered with their First Ladies for the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.

For one afternoon, decades of American political history shared the same stage.

That doesn’t happen often. 💙

BREAKING: HAHA! Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton burst out laughing at the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center after Michelle brilliantly shades Trump over the Nobel Peace Prize.

This is just too good...

"You were unflappable at every turn, always focused, always calm, always looking at the long view," the former First Lady said to her husband. "How absurd it is to even imagine that you might have buckled under the pressure even once, lashed out in frustration, lost your temper. How absurd it is to imagine that you might have done anything but make our family and this entire country proud."

We can think of another President who regularly loses his temper, buckles under pressure the moment that difficulties arise, and lashes out in frustration on Truth Social daily. There is an infuriating double standard at play. Obama had to always keep his cool to avoid getting labeled with the "angry Black man" racist trope. As an entitled white man, Trump can blow his top whenever he wants and nobody bats an eyelash.

"No, you were too busy. I'm not done, y'all! Not done," Mrs. Obama continued as the crowd roared with approval. "So much to say. You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding healthcare, ending a war, ordering the Bin Laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize."

She paused and smiled at that point in the speech, giving the audience a chance to cheer. Seated in the wing, Hillary Clinton burst out laughing at the obvious jab and President Obama laughed along with her.

It's well-documented that Donald Trump is absolutely obsessed with the fact that Obama has a Peace Prize while he himself has been denied the distinction. Trump aggressively lobbied in vain for one, cajoling foreign leaders to nominate him.

He was so incensed by the Norwegian Nobel Committee's refusal to award him that he wrote to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre: "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace."

He lived up to the implicit threat in that letter by going on to launch a pointless, costly, child-murdering war against Iran that ultimately ended in defeat and surrender for the United States.

And Michelle wasn't done there...

"Keeping us safe from Ebola, regulating the banks, standing up for marriage equality, listening to science, and comforting an entire nation in the face of unspeakable tragedies," she continued, listing more of her husband's accomplishments. "And you did it all with such grace and class and cool that you made the hardest job in the world look like a walk in this beautiful park."

The Ebola bit is another jab at Trump who, with the assistance of RFK Jr. and Elon Musk gutted research and pandemic prevention. This is the most virulently anti-science administration that this country has ever seen.

One thing is certain. The Obamas will have a lasting, radiant legacy in this country. Trump will be reviled by future generations, his name used a byword for incompetence, failure, and corruption.

Please ❤️ and share if you love the Obamas!

Trump on Iran War: Also, we would run out of reserves at about 4 weeks, you know, there are reserves all over the world, and we would really run out, and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

It means so much to Barack and me to open up the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. This is where I grew up, where Barack got his start, and where we raised our girls. So having a place where kids from our community can see themselves, connect with each other, and channel their hope—there’s nothing more powerful than that.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.

I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

One of the craziest sports statistics I've ever seen:

The Spurs led for 72% of the NBA Finals. They lost in five games.

The Spurs CLEARLY had enough talent to win this Series…..

NEVER seen a team lose this many games in the finals after having DOUBLE-DIGIT LEADS!!!!

@itsalwayscraig Magic didn’t play PG during his 1st finals, he played Center.

[E. Dewey Smith @edeweysmith]

@DJGregDaHamma Magic didn’t play PG in the first finals. He played Center.

[BetMGM 🦁 @BetMGM]

Dylan Harper really did all he could

[E. Dewey Smith @edeweysmith]

@lindenhouses Not sure what’s gonna happen but this is the 1st time I’ve seen a similar scenario

[E. Dewey Smith @edeweysmith]

When Magic Johnson went to the Lakers, Norm Nixon was the PG!

The next year, Norm was gone…
